Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Myself and my husband David, will be walking 100 miles from Winchester to Eastbourne over the course of 8 days.
I along with many others have taken my eye sight for granted over the years, and assumed that my contact lenses or glasses would always correct my vision.
Since heading up the Macular Society's counselling Service this has changed as I have listened to 100's of people describe the massive emotional and physical impact of being diagnosed with a visual impairment.
Now when I go for an eye test, I feel very fortunate when I am told my eyes are healthy, it's no longer as assumption that I automatically make.
So our appeal is to everyone whether personally affected or otherwise to help us beat the devastation caused by Macular Disease...and for us all to look after our eyes.
